SteveS Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hi Folks, I've recently been working on a scenario on my Athlon XP1700+, 256Mb DDR Ram, NVIDIA chipset PC. Moving the 2D Map around in the editor is painfully slow. The map is huge (maximum area in fact) and it takes about 4 seconds to shift the map one position after clicking on the NSEW navigational buttons. I compared the same map on my Dell Inspiron 5000 laptop (650 Mhz, 512 Mb RAM) and it takes about half the time. Comparing various map sizes, my laptop turns out to be about twice as fast as the PC.I find it hard to believe the difference is due to the extra memory on my laptop. In fact, even on the small maps, the response time of the editor seems very slow for what is being required of it. Incidentally, I've not yet updated the PC video drivers to cure the transparent white problem. Any ideas ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 I suspect it is a 512mb vs 256mb RAM thing. I suspect the editor is rather ram intesive. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted March 18, 2002 Author Share Posted March 18, 2002 I guess you're right, although I find it surprising given that the typical size of a scenario .cmb file is less than 40 Kb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveS Posted April 15, 2002 Author Share Posted April 15, 2002 Thought that I would just mention that this problem had nothing to do with memory limitations after all. I've just installed the official Nvidia drivers to cure the transparent white graphics problem and, lo and behold, this problem was cured as well. I should have guessed they were linked.
